Jan Crombie's paintings and sculptures explore a fictional space between truth and reality. At times emanating from her own invented narratives, at times drawing on literary texts or news events, her enigmatic characters draw on theatrical traditions and both personal and world mythologies. Jan works in 'series' exploring an idea in various ways till she is satisfied that it has played itself out. Jan lives and works in Norwich but remains involved with arts organisations in Oxford...

The Tower Tribe are an itinerant group of people who are held together by the common desire to find a site to build a tower, edifice or other permanent monument. This is an ongoing, evolving project that uses the creation of a fictitious community as a vehicle for exploring what it means to live in a society, both now, in the past and in the future. Though there are a number of works and many interconnected series each individual work is also an entitiy in its own right.
